Who we are

Who is ?

Signivo is a centralized email signature manager built for teams on Gmail and Outlook. One account connects your entire directory, names, titles, departments, photos, the lot, and publishes consistent, on-brand signatures across your organization. There's one plan with all features included. Our servers are hosted entirely in Frankfurt, Germany.

Built in 2026 by a small team that had spent years frustrated with the choice in this category: enterprise platforms with month-long rollouts on one end, hobby tools with no governance on the other. Signivo is the missing middle, fast enough to deploy within an hour, structured enough to run an organization on. No forced sales process, no implementation package required, start self-serve and involve IT only where it makes sense. Support goes straight to the product team, with a response within one business day.

05Who they are

Who is Opensense?

Opensense was founded in 2013 in San Francisco as SenderGen, rebranded to Opensense in May 2018.

The product positions for marketing and IT teams at scale: banner A/B testing, CRM-driven ABM targeting, compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL and CCPA, and SOC 2 Type II audited operations. Trade-offs: the $350/month minimum excludes small teams, a service plan is required on top of every per-user tier, and the deepest features (CRM integrations, recipient-based targeting) sit in the highest plan tier.

Opensense is a San Francisco-headquartered, enterprise-grade signature, banner-marketing and compliance platform with deep CRM integration and a $350/month entry minimum. Signivo covers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 with flat-rate pricing, EU-only hosting in Frankfurt, Germany and a two-minute setup. Pick Opensense for ABM-driven enterprise marketing at scale. Pick Signivo for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 teams that want EU residency and predictable per-user pricing.

06Side by side

Detailed comparison

Six dimensions, zero hand-waving. Who excels at what.

Pricing

Verdict: Signivo is a flat per-user rate with no minimum. Opensense uses three tiers ($1, $3, $5) with a $350/month minimum on the entry Signature plan.

Signivo: One flat per-user rate, all features, no minimum spend. 1 EUR per user per month, or 10 EUR per user per year when billed annually.

Opensense: Three tiers (Signature, Pipeline, Complete) starting at $1, $3, and $5 per user per month respectively, all with a $350/month minimum plus required service plan. Banner scheduling and targeting sit in Pipeline; CRM integrations and advanced ABM targeting sit in Complete. Microsoft 365 GCC High adds a $2 per-user surcharge.

Information gathered from each vendor's website. Facts and figures may be outdated.

Setup & onboarding

Verdict: Signivo deploys in minutes on either platform. Opensense deploys in 15 minutes via the Microsoft 365 Integrated App.

Signivo: On Google Workspace, an admin connects the tenant once via OAuth and the directory syncs automatically. On Microsoft 365, an admin grants Signivo access in Entra ID and rolls out the Signivo Outlook Add-in centrally. Either way, minutes of admin time, not an IT project.

Opensense: Deploys via the Microsoft 365 Integrated App, which IT pushes from the M365 admin portal with no mail routing, DNS or SPF changes. Most IT teams complete deployment in under 15 minutes; Google Workspace deploys via Google Directory sync.

Step by step, per platform: setting up Signivo in Microsoft 365 or in Google Workspace.

Features

Verdict: Signivo focuses on signatures and per-group templates. Opensense adds ABM banners, A/B testing, email engagement tracking and compliance.

07The honest recommendation

When to choose which

Not every company is a Signivo company, and that's fine. Here's the clearest way we can put it.

Choose Signivo if

  • You want signatures live within minutes, not hours or days
  • Self-service, no onboarding, sales process, or implementation required
  • You're on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or both, and want one tool that covers either
  • You want a flat rate for the entire software; no tiered pricing, no per-seat upsells, or annoying sales reps calling you
  • EU-only hosting and zero replication outside the EU matter for your data residency posture
  • You'd rather contact the people building the product directly than navigate a support tier system

Choose Opensense if

  • You are a 100+ employee Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace marketing team
  • You need CRM-driven ABM banners across HubSpot, Marketo or Salesforce
  • You want SOC 2 Type II, McAfee Enterprise-Ready and Microsoft 365 GCC High support
  • You require US-based phone and email support with dedicated CSMs
  • You want a 15-minute Microsoft 365 Integrated App deployment
  • You need compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL and CCPA in one place
08Switching over

Migrating from Opensense to Signivo

Three steps, a couple of minutes. No consultants, no migration fees.

1

Export your Opensense templates and banner schedule

Ask your Opensense CSM for an HTML export of every active signature template and a CSV of your current banner schedule (campaign, dates, target segment, CTR). Re-create the static templates in Signivo first, then re-create the banner rotation.

2

Connect Signivo

One approval from your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 admin. Your colleagues' details flow in on their own from the company directory. A few clicks and you are connected to Signivo.

3

Publish to your team

Upload your templates, or pick from our library, and publish company-wide in one click. Older signatures are overwritten.
